Top notes are Red Apple and Red Currant; middle notes are Freesia and Jasmine; base notes are Vanilla Orchid, White Musk and White Woods.The fashion house of Lanvin launches Modern Princess under the Interparfums license in July 2016 as the new chapter of Lanvin perfumes. Lanvin manifests the new, modern vision of a woman as a rebellious adventurer of free spirit: “Glamorous, untamed and fiercely sensual, she uses her own free will, playing with secrets and certainties. She has never been held prisoner of anything, nor of anyone. She creates her own destiny. Her freedom is precious. "The creator, perfumer Christophe Raynaud of Firmenich, describes it as a sexy floral fragrance full of texture, emotion and sensoriality, inspired by the red color: ”Red is synonymous with passion, sensuality and intensity. It's the colour of love, but also of the forbidden. It is irresistibly attractive and fascinating; tempting like an addictive fruit."Top notes are fresh and invigorating and youthful with succulent Pink Lady apple and red currant. Middle notes are more feminine; the dual character of jasmine, delicate and carnal at the same time, blends with freesia flower. Base notes represent assertive femininity with velvety white musk, luxurious blonde woods and sensual vanilla orchid.The face of the perfume is Spanish model Steffy Argelich, shot by Jérémmie Rozan.The glass bottle, designed by Carré Basset, is decorated with a gold chain around its neck. The red box features the white logo. The fragrance is available as a 30, 60, 90 ml Eau de Parfum.

Buying advice in plain language

If you are deciding on Modern Princess, start with wear context instead of hype. Ask where you will use it most: office, casual daytime, or evening social settings. That single choice filters almost every buying decision because freshness, sweetness, and projection read very differently depending on environment.

Then use this page in three steps. First, scan the notes and accord profile to understand the scent direction. Second, check longevity and projection hints to estimate how it may behave on your skin. Third, open one or two comparisons to see trade-offs against similar perfumes. This avoids buying a fragrance that is good in isolation but wrong for your routine.

A practical shortlist is one signature scent plus one contrast option from the same brand family. That gives flexibility without over-collecting. If Modern Princess fits your use case, sample first and compare it with one related option below before committing to a full bottle.
